holding on for an M5 but memory is constantly hitting a limit.

M5 doesn't look like it's vastly improved over M4 - just get an M3 or M4 with max ram?

They are all the same chip, just manufactured on a newer node. If you're using more than 16gb of RAM you may as well skip the Air and get a M2 or M3 Pro. M4 Pro overheats and throttles.
